Soderbergh speaks about his exciting new DVD, film and cable release.

By Kyle Watson & Todd Gilchrist

When Steven Soderbergh started directing films, the idea of independent film was still a technical distinction rather than a marketing tool. His first film Sex, Lies and Videotape debuted at the Sundance Film Festival to raucous acclaim, and he has since gone on to establish himself as one of the industry's most versatile talents: from Erin Brockovich to Out of Sight to Ocean's Eleven, he has always been on the cutting edge both of commercial and critical appetites.

This weekend he puts this established credibility to a further test by releasing Bubble, an independent film produced by the folks at Magnolia Pictures. The difference between this film and his past endeavors, however, is the fact that it will simultaneously be released in theaters, on cable, and four days later, DVD. Soderbergh, along with his producing partner Todd Wagner, recently sat down with a handful of journalists to discuss this risky, unprecedented venture; and we're able to provide you with that terrific material via our emerging series of Podcasts.
